From the author: With the number of elders rising and the incidence of cancer increasing with age, a discussion of cancer in older adults is critical for medical-surgical nurses. An understanding of how aging affects cancer incidence, etiology, biology, diagnosis, treatment, and patient response will help medical-surgical nurses provide quality, comprehensive care to elders with cancer. This includes the ability to assess age-related limitations and initiate intervention strategies as appropriate for older adults with cancer.
